Who in your life has inspired you the most and why?

What is your coffee order?
Long black, almond milk
Pet peeves?
Inauthenticity, hype, over-promising and under-delivering
What inspired you to write this book?
Pain, and a desire to create a new system that makes the old outdated ones obsolete.
How did you find the process of writing and publishing your book?
Eight years of purpose, curating consciousness, learning, doing, embodying, teaching, and repeating. We all teach what we most need or needed to learn ourselves.
What surprised you most about the writing process?
That anyone can do it, even me.
What do you hope the reader gets from reading this book?
Reminders that they don’t need to be fixed, a shift in belief in themselves with the knowledge to apply into their own human experience. I hope to save them time.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to write a book but doesn’t know how?
Start a blog with a template you got from someone who already wrote a bestselling book, write 100 stories or blogs over 1000 words. Make it real, authentic, vulnerable, and entertaining. Give value and share solutions, applications.
Then find a publisher, grab 30,000 words, and create your first book. Done is better than perfect.
Make sure your story is the first chapter. Keep it human and relatable, but don’t make the whole book about you, make it about them and get clear on who you’re writing it for and, most importantly, why.
My mantra – “If it positively impacts one person, it’s already served its purpose.”
